Because of the energy independence it might be that the United States had less interest in the future of the security around North Africa. "Without the U.S., the EU member states would have to play world police".

Or, Europe could develop its own massive shale gas reserves and be energy independent too. But, of course, that's too bleedin' obvious for this mob.

Watched the Fox News piece first thing. Interesting and cleverly aimed at the mainstream. The use of "sustainability" as a smokescreen was well covered I thought. Basically highlighted as the "catchall" for Social justice. Also illustrates what we have known for some time about the EPA.
